| A crochet/ craft only blog for those who do not wish to delve in to my 'life' on the main blog. Note - all crochet terminology used is in US form. Email address, eyriecrochet-spam@gmail.com "...I make things because I love knowing that I can. I love knowing that I put all my love and creativity into it. And I love knowing that in this hectic world, I can sit down and make something useful and beautiful. Often, other people wonder why I would do this when I could buy a rug at Walmart for ten dollars. I think that the point is slowing down and enjoying the journey, even if it is taking much longer than I originally thought that it would...." |

they fit nicely, and with using the EZ stretchy bind off its not too tight. I think I need to knit at a tighter gauge though coz they twist up. But then again, even store bought socks twist around on me.
I had been having an issue with the joins in the yarn. Remember it was recycled and I didn't bother redoing the knots. So on the last sock, when I came to a join I yarned over (anti clockwise) immediately after the join, then on the next round, I knitted the yo and next stitch together. It made for a tighter color change.
The end of the W&T heel sections where you were supposed to knit the last double wrapped stitches left holes on the first sock, so on the second one I DIDN'T knit the DWS with the slipped stitch, but picked up the DWS and made a stitch with them. Decreased on the next round though. Someone, somewhere suggested picking up a stitch, rather than knitting the DWT as one.
I am working on the next sock, also toe up with the new jumper. That also has joins, but no color changes. Not sure what the manufacturer was doing with the jumper coz that had joins everywhere. I'd understand the running out of yarn joins, but some were like every 10, 20 rows.
Pics later after they are washed. | ||
